The Adventures of Terminally Online Olivia part 2

Olivia stood there mouth agape, absolutely bewildered.

She had committed a grave sin. In the back of her mind she knew framing things as sins was the result of her cursed Christian upbringing. She really did need to get around to changing her entire framework of thought that living in a cultural Christian society instilled on her. Maybe Tuesday.

For now though she was to busy spiraling out of control over what she had done.

How could she misgender a fellow trans woman? Her chest was flat and the outfit… How was she to know!? She called her femboy. Then another realization hit like a fucking boulder. She called her dude!

Olivia clasped her hands and gave a slight bow. “I’m so sorry! I’m trans too and should know better!” No this wasn’t enough. She would need to perform a full Dogeza for this offense. Olivia didn’t have a shred of Japanese blood in her, but this was an anime convention, it seemed fitting.

Before she could get on the ground and embarrass herself further a heavenly sound graced her unworthy ears.

The woman was giggling, a tiny smile spread across her face. It was beautiful.

“It’s no big deal, dude. I’ve only been on hormones a month after all.” Then she hugged sharky, slightly cocked her head to the side, and flashed a smile.

“I’m Lily.”

Olivia had never felt such a conflicting array of emotions all at once. On one hand her heart was touched by her pure earnestness and gentle smile. On the other she was called dude back. This poor woman has internalized transmisogyny. It’s ok… it’s ok… She just started hormones. I can fix her.

But should she? For fuck’s sake she thought she was a femboy! How was she supposed to know with her dressed like that!?

Olivia straightened up her sailor uniform, completely oblivious to any irony you could pull from her thoughts.

“Sorry, Lily. It’s just… well… you’re cosplaying Astolfo and you know…I made a silly assumption. Haha…” Olivia wished she was in a grave right now.

“Oh this?” Lily gestured to her outfit. “Ah yeah, it’s what I cosplayed last year. I was going to be Bridget, but I lost track of time and couldn’t make it work. I needed to cosplay someone so I just used this old one instead.”

Bridget mentioned!! Lily would be so adorable as Bridget. Olivia cursed the nonexistent god she didn’t believe in for being born in the timeline where she missed this.

“Funnily enough I did use to be a femboy for a while. Then that changed but so far all that’s different is some serious breast pain. Seriously when will it end?” Lily placed a hand on her chest and grimaced.

So a recently hatched egg huh? That made the fact that she was extremely attracted to her better, can’t believe she must suffer male attraction sometimes.

“Ah yeah early transition tit pain sucks. But then you end up with these!” Olivia puffed out her chest proudly, a truly euphoric feeling seeing them there.

Lily rested on finger on her cheek, eyes staring right at Olivia. “Those sure are nice. You’re quite a bold one aren’t you? Showing of your body so openly to me, asking about my hotel room. I haven’t even gotten your name yet, sweetie.”

It felt like a arrow had pierced through her. She was panicking as her cheeks beat hot red. Be confident! Do what Haruhi would do! Flirt back! Anything! Impossible under these circumstances, she was a mess.

“It.. It.. Its..Ol..Olive…” She stuttered out.

Then a calming hand was gently pressed on her shoulder and Lily’s leaned forward.

“Before we get to talk about hotel rooms and all that, we should go on a date.”

The Adventures of Terminally Online Olivia part 1.

She walked the halls of Youmacon, eyes darting around at the endless sea of booths. Finally a reason to leave her apartment, even if she didn't recognize most of the crap on display.

Olivia, a trans woman, had more refined taste from classical anime. Anime like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Naturally she’s cosplaying the titular character. She used her phone to adjust her yellow ribbons. Most people here wouldn't even know who that is, disgusting. She should never have been allowed to reach her 30’s.

Looking across the hall she saw something that horrified her. Standing alone was an Astolfo cosplayer, but that by itself would only annoy her. However, swaddled in one arm, was a Blåhaj. Olivia focused her eyes on their chest.

Flat as a board.

How dare this femboy, this man, have a Blåhaj! These fuckers can't stop at just having shit taste in anime, no! They have the audacity to act like they deserve to have Sharky! That’s for us, not the sweaty hands of femboys!

Look at poor Sharky. She's scared around so many people, doesn't that guy know that Sharky only feels safe on the bed?

Haruhi wouldn't let this slide and neither would she!

“Hey you!” Olivia yelled as she marched up to this fool. She clenched her hands, fingers digging into her skin.

He turned to face her, his pretty eyes staring at her blankly.

“M-” he started to say but was cut off.

“Shoosh!”

Olivia stood there proudly, hands on hips. She waved one finger in his lovely face before pointing right at him.

“Listen you femboy! Sharky isn’t meant for you!”

He raised one eyebrow, pursing his luscious lips.

“You need to understand! That… uhh…” Oh dear, his lips really did look nice. Nice enough to kiss.

“Femboys can’t buy Blåhajs. It’s… not for you…” How can I concentrate with those beautiful orbs staring right at me.

Olivia felt hot, must be her anger right haha… Oh fuck he’s pretty. She didn’t expect this.

She swallowed hard, shifting awkwardly a bit. Those charming eyes, his smooth skin, and those soft lips she wanted to kiss were impossible to ignore so close.

“So we should um, well… maybe meet somewhere so I can… teach you about privilege… and stuff…” Olivia began twirling some hair around one finger, cheeks feeling hot.

Where had her anger gone dammit!? He needed to be punished for his crimes! She felt a tingle in her lower half. The kind of punishment that involves ropes and a gag. Preferably used on her, wait no who is supposed to be punished here!? Curse her rare and unfortunate attraction to men! No one in her discord can know!

Focus! Haurhi would never shy away from saying what she was feeling. Let him know this grave sin he’s committed.

“You’re really fucking cute dude, holy shit… Where’s your hotel room?”

Shit.

The cosplayer just cocked their head, face twisted in confusion.

The Adventures of Terminally Online Olivia part 3

Olivia was a mixture of confused and overwhelmed. Not only was Lily serious about the date, but the date was happening right now.

Meeting a cute girl at a anime con was something out of a yuri manga! It wasn’t supposed to be real life!

Amidst all her panicking she did manage to properly introduce herself. Lily had to see how nervous she was, but she just wore her gentle smile. Thoughts filled her mind that Lily was just being nice, though as to why after her colossal blunder is anyone’s guess.

Eventually Olivia was able to relax and enjoy the hall. Most of this crap she didn’t recognize but Lily did and that would normally annoy her. Lily was so earnest in her excitement that Olivia couldn’t help but join in. Though Lily’s lack of knowledge in classical anime was puzzling.

How can someone now have seen Inuyasha and Deathnote??? Not even Haruhi??? She would show her the classics someday!

Of course none of that compares to the sheer bafflement when Olivia thoroughly explained the intricacies of how Shinji is obviously a trans woman. How Anno fucked up for being a coward and not explicitly saying it in the canon. I mean seriously? How else could you interpret it? She would still get a stupid comment from some dumb fuck guy about why she’s wrong. Fucking lame.

Only for Lily to shrug and say she hasn’t seen Eva yet. What!? This fucking woman!

She didn’t even have a Tumblr! She called Twitter X! She owns a Switch 2!

Olivia had never met such a normie of a trans woman before. Then again she had never met any trans woman in person before having me them online first. She didn’t get out much and I mean why would she? All the cute friendly people were online. The real world was unfair and scary most of the time.

Normally she would shun such a uncultured person, but Lily was just so sweet and patient. Plus she just started transitioning and Olivia had so much to teach her.

It seems like she wasn’t as engaged with social media as herself. A bit strange, but any doubts Olivia had about this woman were whisked away whenever she stared into Lily’s sweet eyes.

Olivia is 33 and Lily was only 27. How can such a small age gap cause so much difference!? How can a woman be so perfect and not at the same time!?

They even lived in the same area in Ohio! Olivia’s only trans friends were online and most were expensive flights away. Her two girlfriends weren’t even on the same continent! Now suddenly a younger trans woman just appeared in her life so close?
